Do you mean the landing craft on D Day? I have talked with men who landed on that beach and others and from what they tell me it was scary, some of the men were praying, and they knew that many would not see the end of the day alive. Spielberg's movie is the nearest we will get to that experience. He did a good job showing the reality of it.

But on the other side we would not have had movies like Saving Private Ryan etc. The history books have become thicker.... kids in school would be happier if 1939-1945 were just like any other years.
